Why are there three versions of ghostscript in the ports? In particular,
is this because nobody wants to delete 2.6.2 and re-verify those things
(like hylafax) that depend on it - or - are people nervous that 4.03 is
not necessarilly an improvement in all cases?

I ask because i have had to hack a thing or two in 2.6.2 (notably to
allow my windows machine to print via samba). At this point, i am
thinking that maybe it is time for me to upgrade (but i wouldn't want to
break hylafax). Sigh.
